“High Fidelityâ€, yet another movie based on novel by Nick Hornby, beside that “About a Boy†also novel turned to movie, is refreshing. A movie that is different with others.
The story is told by the main character, well played by John Cusack, directly to the audience, in a nice honest way too. The story is about a man who never really knows what lies ahead of his life and afraid of taking steps forward too. In the end he eventually tired of his current existence in a non real life problem and eager to face real unforetold life with his girlfriend by asking her to marry him.
It quite touched me, how the movie explains how self discomfort showed up when you lose support of your friend, in this case your girlfriend. You lost that person who did small things that made you comfortable with your self. You lost that smell of person whom laughter made you at least smile. You lost that smile that made you awe and smile back truthfully.
And the most interesting thing is the main character described almost anything by listing it as a Top Five of something.
When you are ready and succeeded to list your Top Five of What I Really Want to Become or Top Five of What My Best Friend Likes The Most or Top Five of Life’s Fun or Top Five of anything at all, I think you have taken an advanced step in discovering yourself, and others too.
Am I afraid?
